A fan won the team's pre-draft "Lucky Charm sweepstakes" with her lucky wooden angel.

Griffin brought it with him to the lottery at the Hilton Chicago, referencing how he won the 2014 NBA draft lottery with his grandmother's pin as his "angel on (his) shoulder."

That's what I am talking about, Connie!- Let's do this! We won the lottery in Cleveland in 2014 with my grandmother's pin as, "the angel on my shoulder." Divine intervention from your angel is meant to be! Thank you for entrusting us with it! #LotteryLove#BirdStrikeshttps://t.co/W53WEIG7lF
